To say i told you so.How we needed a battering ram upfront to make room for others. We will always beat teams who want to play football but in this league physical ability counts as much as silky skills.

cooke did well and 'nearly' scored, but the rearrangement with petta upfront worked, cad was bound to come on and 'nearly' scored,
with some 'potshots' later on, the thing i liked about the second half was that city took the game controlled it and calmed it down themselves despite the ref

what is this a test, yeh there was a cross but it was a mele, because from the cross it was looped back in to the box, ricketts nearly saved, a defender got in the way, couldn't pull off a double save, southend, looked like prior bundled it over, someone said he used his hand to guide it in from no yards, mix up, loadsa defenders there, looked to me like it could've been an og scenario but southend were there to make sure it went in, it was unlucky on us probably untidy defending, when its a mele, its unlucky

For goodness sake how can anybody who was there tonight say we don;t need a big strong presence up front. Yes cooke works hard and holds it up fairly well but he wins nothing in the air. We need some one to knock defenders of there stride and make room for windass.The only time in recent years we have been consitent at home is when we had Adebola.It will be another season of home toil without one.

I agree with Parrot, we don't play to our strengths. We after all have some good players in midfield, they need to battle more and drive on from there, and supply the strikers with ball at their feet. Cooke is not a target man, he holds the ball up sometimes!!! other times he is pushed off it. I have to say I am not a fan of Cooke, but I will not write him off this season yet. If we are going to play long ball football, we do need a target man.

btw by mele i don't mean bradford mela or a fight, just a mix-up with loadsa players there,
thing is holloway, didn't put his foot in that time, but still tried to put the player off, when he did we know what happened, the goal wasn't holloways fault, don't confuse the 1st goal with the tackle
you tell me who was it that was involved in the southend goal
